Appearance was a nice dark amber, not much carbonation, small head. Smell was malty with some caramel notes, not bad. Was looking forward to this, but then: Not a whole lot of taste up front, very light despite the ABV. More-so in the aftertaste, malty, not much else. I was actually quite let down by this one. May try again in the future. (340 characters)

Orang red in the color. There was a small head at the table not sure what it looked like at the tap. Little to no lacing can be seen. Mouthfeel is smooth and sweet . The taste has a lots of malt carmel a hint of bread dough and a light bitter after taste. What you would expect in an Irish red. (294 characters)

Malts rule the roost here: both in the nose and the mouth. The hops do balance it out nicely and give a slight bitter finish but overall the malts sweetness pushes the flavours towards caramel and toffee like tastes.

I like the sweeter brews so this was fine in my eyes (apart from actually looking at it!). (426 characters)

Red, yes, but this beer is more of a thick orange-brown-red. The head blows up as I pour, but settles quickly. Eventually it's a smallish cap of orange-tinted tannish head, then a foam, and eventually that fades as well. There's some lacing left, but not a whole lot.The aroma shows a sweet, bready malts backbone with yeast with a mix of caramel, toffee and dark fruits in the sweetness. A little bit of green tea is detectable in there, like in a tea-based energy drink, but natural.This is a malty, malty beer, majorly bready with lots of yeast. Pumpernickel without any of the sourdough aspect is seems to be the foundation. It's got lots of toffee, caramel, and dark fruits, as in the nose, with an almost alcoholic aspect in that it's got the sweetness without the heat. The hops are there, light, underneath the malts, adding a bit more flavor with balance. There's a little spiciness in the front that gets lighter as it goes. The sweetness just gets a bit cloying, and this is a good beer otherwise.The feel is good, rich and thick, full-bodied (especially for a red) with a bit of a crisp bite and plenty of smoothness.

Soft entry is a bit watery. Simple sweet malts. Some complex maltiness tries to come in mid-mouth - but then fades. The mouthfeel is simple, watery. I'm actually a bit surprised there is no trace of hops given it's Moylan's - but they remain true to the style and description.

22 bomber.-Deep copper color.-Medium head-Aroma very pretty biscuit and caramel with some fruit in there somewhere, definitely on the sweeter side of smells.-Taste was either biscuit/caramel with a bit of fruit rolling after wards, but clips off with a dry aftertaste.-This thing has a pretty big malty sweet body.-Mouth feel isn't too carbonated, the biscuit taste is predominate. It's probably a good drink for those who are really into the sweeter/malty/biscuty beers, but I was hoping for more complexity. A good beer for those who like their stuff more biscuit and caramel rather than hoppy. But balanced, it is not. (628 characters)

Pour is almost like an amber. Smells like overly dry cereal grains. And it even tastes like dry grains. Honestly tastes like a grain mill. They didnt figure out balance in this one. Its so overly dry, its hard to get over. Its honestly not a bad beer, if it wasnt for all those grains. (285 characters)

Thanks to swalden28 for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a slightly hazy red-orange color with a tan head. The aroma is heavy on the toffee and earth, with some orange citrus mixed in. The flavor is more of the same. I grt a lot of toffee and some cocoa, as well as some earth and orange. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. (332 characters)

The beer appeared to be a cloudy orange colour with no head by the time I received it. I'll admit I was in some very dim lighting, though, so it was difficult to tell.The smell was delicious. It smelled like the perfect blend of citrus hops and apricot pits. It reminded me of a Magic Hat #9, but better.The taste was just like the smell. It was elegant, well balanced, and distinctly apricot flavoured. It was an exceptional ale, but I can't give it an exceptional rating because of the way it was presented. It was clearly not an Irish red ale. As other reveiewers have mentioned, this is not the way an Irish red ale is meant to taste. There were too many hops and that distinct fruitiness is that isn't meant to be an Irish red. Good beer, though, so I have to give it a pretty good score. (795 characters)

Pours a see through golden copper hue which leaves a two finger head and sporadic lacing,the smell is is burnt toffee,molasses,caramel,candied figs and a light layer of fruity hops,the mouthfeel is light-medium bodied and has tastes of caramel,sticky toffee,fruit cake,marzipan,jarrah honey and finished with a mix of sweet malts and light fruity hops and overall a very easy drinking IRA thats very sessionable and probably would buy again cheers.

Malty aroma has a fruity underpinning, and is not strong but still inviting. It pours a clear amber-copper with an off-white head that doesn't stick around for long. Flavor has a core of malt plus subtle fruity, caramel, grassy and woody tones and a whisper of honey sweetness. Texture is about average fairly smooth and gently fizzy. Overall, not great but still worthy. (371 characters)

Different but only liked it so-so. Dry barley with more sweetness than bitterness. Could not drink very much of this bomber. Reddish coloured body with one quarter inch of off-white retained head. A different aroma.A tad above average mouthfeel. Lace sheet.Fine for what it is. (277 characters)

Blood orange, a touch hazy, with a finger of light beige sudsy head. Very slight ring.

Nose shows loads of fortified wine character, mainly prunes, stewed plums, muscatels and toffee apple. Also a good dose of stout-esque floral esters and some sweet citrus undertones. Sort of comes across as a blend of Scottish ale and stout (without the roasted malts). Bit bizarre but kind of works.

Taste falls a bit flat and fails to carry the bigger notes in the aroma. Biscuity brandy-snap malts in spades, with some shy woody notes swirling around. Pretty simple but nice.

A little thin, but smooth with moderate and unobtrusive carbonation.

Interesting brew with some appealing Scottish character that doesn't quite grab me. Seems to underachieve in complexity without compensating with particularly good drinkability. (851 characters)

Pours a subtle, rich copper with frothy off white head that has some retention.

In the nose is malt, caramel and a sweet raspberry sent.

Taste bread up front with a yeasty sting, then a green apple flavor hits in the back, finishes dry with a caramel coating. There are good flavors in this, but something tastes a little off. Not a bad beer, but not great either. (368 characters)

Appearance: Pours a near clear, reddish-copper body with a thin, ivory-hued head.

Smell: Toasted malts, a bit of sweet toffee crumbles, and ah herbal pinch of burley tobacco, with a background hint of ill-defined fruitiness.

Taste: Robust toastiness and fairly sweet throughout, with heavy-handed touches of caramel and toffee noting a goodly portion of crystal malt. A drop of sweetish pear juice, a hint of golden raisin. Lightly herbal, lightly leafy hop character with a very low bitterness, never really getting in the way of the sweetness. Once the tongue gets acclimated to all the sugariness, I notice some traces of minerals and chilled black tea. Sweet, southern iced tea finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.

Overall: One for the malty sweet drinkers, heading towards some slight cloying stickiness. I would prefer a skosh less sweetness and alcohol. Just a skosh, mind you. (977 characters)

Appearance is a nice copper tone with 1 finger of head. Danny`s Irish Red smells of grains and malts mostly, some hops. Taking a sip and the taste has some light fruits, more malts. MF is medium and finishes bitter and dry. A slightly better than average beer that would pair well with wings (335 characters)

A- Poured a coppery amber color. Half finger white head shows light retention. Some light streaks of lace on the sides of the glass.

S- Holy vinegar Batman!!! Some light caramel malts along with toasted malts in the front of the beer quickly get swept into a malt vinegar like aroma that sticks long into the nose.

T- The aroma was more pleasing than the flavor. This starts off with some toasted malts that show a light caramel malt overtone to them. This is where the vinegar flavor starts to show up and turn into more of a malt vinegar by the time the alcohol comes in the backend. This beer had taken a horrible turn for the worst.

M- Light mouthfeel. Carbonation was good for the style. Vinegar overtones are all that is on the palate and this lingers long into the aftertaste with a hint of alcohol to calm it down. Flavors were not balanced at all for the style. Off flavors are vinegar forward which I expected with how the flavor and aroma was. Light alcohol drying on the palate.

O- This beer was horrible. And to think this is a off bottle is laughable as I have had so many bottles from them that taste the exact same. I think QC needs to be looked at more indepth a little more. (1,225 characters)
